I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues

Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever

Between you and me, girl

I can honestly say

That things can only get better

And while I'm away

Go and dust out those demons inside

'Cause it won't be long before you and me run

To the place in our hearts where we hide

I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

I guess that's why they call it the blues

But I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me, girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

Oh Lord, I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

We're laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

I guess that's why they call it the blues

But I guess that's why they call it the blues

Wait on me, girl

Cry in the night if it helps

More than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

Oh, I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

I guess that's why they call it the blues

I don't know

I guess that's why they call it the blues

I guess that's why they call it the blues
